DUBLIN. August 30.-Mr. William
O'Brien, editor of the United Ireland,
presided to-day over the fortnightly
meeting of the Irish National League
in this city. The meeting was unu-
sually large. A number of Catholic
clergymen were present.
Mr.. Harrington announced that
Charles Agustus Vansillart Conybeare
(RadicaD, member of Parliament for
Northwest Cornwall. and Charles En-
nest Schwann NiberaD, member for
North Manchester, had joined the
league.
Mr.. O'Brien said that the first branch
OF the league against government
should issue a proclamation, should
hold its meetings with closed doors,
and refuse to open them for the police
even if they demanded admittance.
This would leave the police nothing to
do but break their way in if they were
determined to enter AS the police
would probably resort to this violence.
the central branch of the league would
then ask the Lord Mayor to grant them
the use of the City Hall with special
police to defend it during the league
meetings therein. The majority of the
Dublin City Council, as well as the
Lord Mayor, are strong nationalist
aid leaders IN the league,

DUBLIN, August 30.-Evictions on
the O'Grady estate, at Herbertstown,
began to-day. The bailiffs we're rein
forced by 100 soldiers and 300 police
men. All the houses occupied by ten
ants were barricaded and guarded for
defence. The house of Mrs. Crimmins,
o widow, was first advanced upon by
the bailiffs. The widow and her friends
were well armed with paving-stones
and boiling water, and both were
sbowered upon the bailitfs with
such telling effect that they were
repulsed no less than four times. The
sheriff's men in their attacks attempted
to crowbar their way through the walls
and roof, and Mrs. Crimmins had
scalding water poured over their heads,
faces, and necks. After the fourth re-
pulse of the bailiffs the police attempt
ed to storm the house. They also were
driven back. Finally joint rush was
made by the bailifis and police and the
house was broken into and captured.
II was found that the defenders
numbered but FIVE men and four wo-
men. All were taken prisoners. A
large crowd had collected about the
house to witness the contest. The
crowd all sympathized with Mrs.
Crimmins, and did all in their power to
cheer her up in the battle and to annoy
and exasperate the officers. When the
widows party were at last overpowered
the crowd became frantic and pressedup
closely towards the house. The prison
ers, when they were led out, sang
"God Save Ireland" The crowd
joined in the singing and became so
demonstrative that the police had to
club their way out with their batons.

Convention will meet tomorrow at
noon. with definite settlement Of the
vexed question whether Mr.. Randall
will be able to control its deliberations
and adopt as a party declaration on the

Chicago National Convention in 1884,
or whether Congressman Scott and Mr..
Singerly, of the Philadelphia Record,
will be able to commit the party to the
more pronounced utterances of Presi-
dent Cleveland in favor of a reform of
the tariff. al other issues have been
for the moment cast aside, while the
battle royal upon this question has
been waged by the leaders and dele
gates.
Mr.. Randall was early on the ground,
and this morning took possession of
rooms at the Hotel Allan, where he has
been assisted by Congressman Sowder,
Governor Curtin, and others all day
long in the work among the delegates.
At 5 O'Clock MesIrs. Scott and Singerly
arrived, and the fight soon became as
interesting as any ono could desire.
The point of vantage which the OPP

was to hold the key to the situation in
the convention. There is to be one

German bark High-Flyer, of Elsheth.
They arrived in the harbor at late

bearing down on her Captain Hyde was
informed that the vessel was in help

gone, bulwarks stove in, and three feet
of water in the hold. The captain
stated that the crew refused to work.
The captain of the bark had resolved
toabandon the vessel before the steamer
was sighted, and had set fire to her, but
the flames did not appear till after the
crew were taken off by boat from the
steamer. The boats crew returned at
once and put out the fire. Some time
later the flames burst out again and
threatened to prove too much for the
men, but they finally succeeded in over
coming them. The steamer and bark
were then connected by q hawser and
their heads turned for Halifax. The
bark is not seriously damaged by fire,

A Newport special to the New York
Times of the 29th says: Society has
something dreadful TO talk about and
policeman is under suspension, and
from present indications he will be dis
charged. Fred May, society swell
who halls from Baltimore, and who
figured in duel some years age, came
over from Narragansett Pier TO attend
the subscription ball at the Casino on
Thursday. He was feeling very risky
all the following day, and at an
early hour Saturday morning he
walked home from Watson's with
Ii. Ray Miller, Of New York, and
Donald de V. Graham, an English sing
er, WHO 10 often heard in the parlors Of
society residents Graham has rooms
in the Berkeley, resort exclusively
used for bachelors who can pay good
prices. May and Miller insisted upon
entering the Berkeley with Graham,
and when once inside they broke in tho
door of the apartments occupied by
Charles T. Bates, of New York, who was
sound asleep. They took him out OF
bed and broke up his furniture, and
acted more like madmen than gentle.
men.
Bates was afraid OF his life, and none
of the other inmates who were aroused
cared TO risk their heads by going TO
his rescue. Bates, clad only in night
shirt, rushed down stairs and out into
the street, where he hailed a police
man. The policeman Is soon as no
heard that May was inside, declined 10
enter the building, as he had heard Of
that gentloman's pugilistic encounters
elsewhere. Bates told him that he
could use his revolver and his club, as
he was afraid OF his life, but it was OF
no use TO argue with him.
The facts were laid before the Mayor
yesterday, and he promptly suspended
the officer pending an investigation.
May, who was the guest OF promi-
neDt society lady, was asked 10 curtail
his visit at once. He did so, and took
the next boat for Narragansett. Ora
ham is very much ccnsured for allow
ing May and Miller TO enter the build
ing, the doors OF which are always fas-
tened. Miller has made handsome
apology for the part which he took in
the fracas.
May has been given until Wednesday
TO apologize, and unless he does so the
law will be allowed TO take its course.

CHICAGO, August 30.-A Springfield

State Board of Agriculture is in receipt
of a very discouraging report from Pro-
fessor Forbes, the State entomologist,
in reference to the very general distri-
button OF chinch-bugs throughout the

thorough investigation concerning the
location and extent Of the presence Of
this pest, and his conclusions are brief
ly summed mp as follows: at is very
destructive in thirty counties; occurs
in large numbers in sixteen others; in
moderate numbers i'll seventeen, and in
numbers not especially injurious but
sufficient to threaten harm another
year in twenty five, while from thirteen
counties it is reported as practically
absent. AS the weather conditions
throughout the greater part of the
State have thus far been peculiarly IA
yorable to its multiplication, people
will be able to estimate the gravity Of
the danger threatened to the agncul-
ture OF the State"
